CHRIS FARLEY to PAUL MCCARTNEY: Remember when you were in the Beatles ... you did that album Abbey Road ... [where] ... the song goes "And in the end the love you take equals to the love you make"? Remember that?
PAUL MCCARTNEY: Yes.
CHRIS FARLEY: Is that true?

A quip is not quite the same as a line of poetry, and I certainly do not intend to be funny by questioning the factual basis of Arnold Schoenberg's often mentioned quip:
My music is not modern, it is just badly played.
What did Schoenberg have in mind when he spoke of his music as "badly played"? Technical defects of execution, such as wrong notes, faulty intonation, or poor ensemble? Unacceptable deviations from clearly stated instructions in the score regarding tempo, dynamics, or phrasing?
